Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps Lyrics






I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.
He said, "Hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
What you tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you."

I said, "Excuse me."

I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean, mean,
Big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
Oh "Wait a minute, mister,
I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you."

"Oh, won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps a-mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps a-mister,
And you'll never see a-me no more
For sure."

Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor.
And I'm telling you son,
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.

"Oh, won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps a-mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps a-mister,
And you'll never see a-me no more."

Show me the back door.

  24. A.... R....

    They r awsome

  25. k.... ....

    What bugs me about situations like this is the question of responsibility. He didn't know she was "with" someone, but SHE did. So her man chases the guy off maybe to kill him, but she gets of scot free? I think I might be yelling "After you shoot me, be sure you go back and shoot her too!" But I suppose he can't shoot her too because then she can't put out any more. Or... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Ha2Yar01E

  26. D.... S....

    Whoever disliked didnt get 3 steps

    B.... B....

    American Jedi I don’t understand your reply. I remember vividly the day of the plane crash and losing one of my favorite bands.

    B.... B....

    @Bill Braski It's a joke about the 70s party and drug filled ways. The entire band has their eyes closed because they're out of it 70s style.

  43. G.... O....

    First song I played after my wisdom tooth was taken out
